Meet and Greet?
I just heard back from a firm I applied to a few weeks ago through my school's career website and the email I received said something along the lines of: "We received your resume and would like to invite you to a meet and greet at time x location y". I've never had anything like this happen before? Is this a pre-interview screening process? I'm and undergraduate, I haven't even had a phone interview with these guys yet, can someone shed some light on this situation please? I assume I should dress formally, I imagine I shouldn't take my resume with me like most interviewers ask of me. Can anyone offer some advice?
Sometimes firms take out promising candidates for lunches I had one of these with a boutique, it was a lunch and first round interview, so be prepared.
Okay I'll definitely prepare, but I haven't even done a phone interview yet which is the strangest part for me. I'm certainly no exceptional candidate lol. Also this awkward, but the minimum gpa they mentioned was 3.6, mine's at 3.58 so I rounded up on my resume I hope they don't mind?
Are you sure this is just a meet and greet? We used to have a "meet and greet" the night before Superdays and invite candidates to meet everyone informally. Of course all the analysts would go for the free drinks and only a few brave candidates showed up. I'd go as prepared as possible, bring a resume. I wouldn't worry about the GPA. If you can get an interview they will overlook rounding.
Recruiters have these things all the time. It usually means you were invited to interview or they could have invited everyone. But if it's an "invite" and you've already dropped your resume - it means you're interviewing most of the time. They are very casual. I would go and dress really nice still, but don't talk about work or interviewing or anything. Just try to get to know the people and get a feel for the company.
Wear a suit, know the firm and the job your applying for, be ready to answer questions.
I'd say have your resume with you anyway. Always offer your interview one, they probably have one already but it shows your prepared. Also if you updated it slightly people generally don't mind.
